“The wound is the place where the light enters you.” – Rumi
A common metaphysical assertion goes like this: Whatever shows up in your outer world is simply a reflection of whatever you’re holding in your inner world. And there’s a corollary to it it that says that when you’re really ready to break through to a new level of consciousness, all the lingering bits inside you that are NOT aligned with that new level will start popping up in your outer world to be dealt with – a housecleaning of sorts. It’s like the Universe arranges a round of rapid-fire challenges for you, just to give you the opportunity to deal with them authentically and fully at last, so that their hold on you can be released.
I truly feel cherished and loved by the Universe, so I know that these painful events and difficult choices are always a gift; an opportunity for me to push through to a deeper place of self-acceptance and self-love. I’m in one of these phases right now and I’m committed to viewing it as a teacher. I must have been a ready student, for this teacher to appear.
And I’m hoping that this metaphysical phenomenon works the same way for everyone because some people I love are wounded and I want Rumi’s “light” to enter them. We can’t do that for other people – not really. They have to be ready themselves, and they have to want the light.
I’m so grateful that I had the foresight to plan some student-time for myself next month. I’ll spend a week early in November with Christian Pankhurst – an amazing coach and mentor that I recommend wholeheartedly.
Then, November 12-14, I’ll be at Hay House’s I Can Do It Conference in Tampa. This phenomenal weekend of inspiring teachers always leaves me expanded, excited, Juicy Joyful, and deeply, deeply grateful to be a part of my beloved personal-development industry.
